Despite praise for Namaso’s pre-season, Sergio Conceição puts a stop to the euphoria around England’s Danny Namaso, who came as a surprise in the starting eleven that started the Super Cup match in which Porto beat Tondela 3-0, stressing that the striker will have to go through an adjustment period .
“We shouldn’t have two questions for a guy who came from Team B and only played one game. We have a tendency here in Portugal to send teams to lunar heights when that happens. There is a transition from the B team to the first team, where he had a great pre-season, and it was clear to me that he would start in the Super Bowl. There will be a period of maturation. It’s not about spending ten minutes of the conference talking about him, that everything will turn out to be positive. This allows him to do what he knows how to do, allowing him to relax. You have already done two things that I did not like in training, so there can be no relaxation, always in Red line. You need to understand that one game is nothing, and two thousand games is something that our president will do tomorrow. There is a period of evolution, integration, a different demand, and that’s it. You don’t need to press the same key. Obviously I’m happy to be the 11th boy to come and play and he has everything to succeed, but let’s leave him alone and look at all the namasos in the team,” the coach said.
